which sling?

billybump · Feb 13th, 2010, 07:45 AM

Hi ladies please can I have your advice. I want to carry my little boy however I don't know which sling/carrier to use, I have a babasling but really don't like it, it digs into my neck and I struggle to get my Lo in plus he never looks comfy or safe. Please tell me what I should get, it needs to be easy to use and quick to put on on my own.
Thanks

do you want a sling as in like tha baba sling or are you looking at carriers as a whole?

Thanks for replying, I'm looking at all carriers I just need it to be usable for a long time.

i'd say your best bet would be a Mei Tai of some kind or another......they are really comfy and fairly easy to get on on your own....

check out
http://www.babyhawk.com/
http://www.simplymeitai.co.uk/mei-tai-info-and-prices

or a connecta which is the same but with buckles
http://www.connectababycarrier.com/

there are loads more brands out there these are just to give you an idea....also worth checking on Ebay

hope that helped some?
